Gloucester City are ready to welcome a Coventry City XI in the first of two home pre-season friendlies in the build up to the start of the new season.
Following the dramatic last-minute equaliser at Bath City last week and a strong win midweek against Redditch, Paul Groves’ men come into this fixture with growing confidence amongst the squad following important minutes.
A familiar name could be in the Coventry squad in Jack Burroughs. Jack joined City on loan with Jordan Young in December 2020, making 6 appearances and scoring a goal in the FA Trophy clash against Wealdstone.
Team News
Jack James will be unavailable after picking up an injury in the friendly at Bath City last weekend. Jack received an MRI scan today and we await the results of this.
